TITLE I CONSTRUCTION GRANTS AND LOANS
New federal grants and loans of more than $17 million will help thirty-one colleges and universities build or remodel libraries in eighteen states, Puerto Bico, and the Virgin Islands. New and supplemental grants totaling approximately $11 million were awarded to twentythree institutions for construction projects for libraries* under Title I of the Higher Education Facilities Act, which provides for federal aid of up to one-third of the cost of academic construction at undergraduate schools and up to 40 per cent of construction cost at public community colleges and technical institutes. Under Title III of the Act, which provides for construction loans, eight colleges and universities received a total of almost $6 million for library construction projects.*
The grants will support projects costing almost $47 million and loans will support projects costing approximately $14 million.
* In some projects, library construction is combined with other projects such as instructional, science or humanities, and administrative construction.
